New York — President Donald Trump got some laughter when he addressed world leaders on Tuesday. appeared flustered and responded, “I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK.”Iran took the place of North Korea as the principal antagonist in Trump’s second address to the General Assembly. That is why we are taking a hard look at foreign assistance.”Before his speech, Trump tamped down any speculation of a meeting with Iran’s leader. Trump spent much of the speech laying out his “America First’’ world view, including his assertion that all world leaders should put their countries first as sovereign nations. In the past year, he has moved to limit the U.S. role in multilateral institutions, pulling the country from the United Nations Human Rights Council and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
